Welcome to the ocean.
Put your swimsuits on and jump into the sea. Here you will step into the future and learn about Lumpar's oceans.
Lumpar is covered with ( 60 %water). Most of this vast area includes seas, lakes, rivers and streams. Lumpar has two oceans, as you can see by looking at the planet. Tiny living things in the ocean give the water color.
These two oceans are really one vast body of water, since they are all connected in some way. They have an interchange of water from one ocean to another.
These oceans are highly complicated. They have waves, tides, currents, and wind patterns, much like the oceans on Earth. Below the surface other important features include : salt content, temperature, deep currents, light penetration from two suns, sedimentation and topography.
Lumpar's ocean water contains 70 parts salt to 10,000 parts water. It is important to determine variations of this proportion.
Light is an important governing factor in the distribution of life. As light penetrates sea water, its yellow, orange, and red rays fade first. After that the green and blue rays fade out at about 2000 feet. In very clear water, violet rays may penetrate somewhat deeper, but below this is the watery world of perpetual darkness. So, you better take a flash light with you.
How Were the Oceans Created?
The two oceans were created by the God's of Lumpar of course. But, if you want a more scientific explanation, then read on.
The oceans were created because of the varying densities of rock on Lumapr's crust.
The rock underlying the ocean floors is heavier than the rock underlying the continental land mass. Both of these rock masses are "floating" on the semi fluid mantle which lies far below the surface of Lumpar. The heavier rock below the ocean floor sinks farther into the mantle, leaving large depressions that are filled with water. These depressions have formed Lumpar's oceans.
Lumpar's interior also contains large amounts of water in the form of steam. During volcanic eruptions large amounts of steam are released in the atmosphere and later condense to form rain. The widespread volcanic activity was very common in the early history of Lumpar. From this period of intense volcanic activity and from continual eruptions, the ocean basins have gradually filled.
An alternation of seasons similar to that on land takes place in the seas. In winter the waters are very dark and cold. Winter gales churn the surface water and cold water is constantly settling toward the deep. In spring the days grow longer, the surface warms, and the wind abates.
The water on Lumpar is a storehouse for the heat that is released by the suns. The ocean acts in many ways to regulate the weather. Rainfall, snow, temperature, wind, and storms are closely related to the ocean and the great air masses which move over it.
Some Quick Facts About the Oceans:
Ocean water contains almost all of the chemical elements on Lumpar.
There are trenches in the ocean that are deeper than the hightest mountains are high.
Animals feed on primitive plants, such as seaweeds without roots, leaves, or stems.
Warm, tropical ocean waters may hold brightly colored sea animals.
Many food products for animals come from the oceans on Lumpar.
